| Main privacy concern | Caution Kindroid rewrote its privacy FAQ in September 2026 and dropped its earlier claim that only you and the AI can see your chats. A small number of engineers can access production systems. | Serious Italy's data protection authority fined Luka, Replika's developer, €5 million in 2025 for processing data without a legal basis, an inadequate privacy notice and missing age verification. It opened a separate investigation into how Replika's AI is trained. |

What's good
- The deepest customization of any companion app

Replika
What's good
